INTRODUCTION

Over the past few years, online platforms have become a popular way for individuals and consumers to interact online. The online platforms have been used to provide range of services to individuals on the Internet. The range of services are such as marketplaces, search engines, social media, consumer business, financial services, industrial products, home services, legal services, creative services, e-learning services, and the like. In addition, the online platforms facilitate interactions between at least two or more distinct individuals (whether firms or consumers) through the range of services via the Internet. We have seen an increasing demand in the usage of the online platforms. The individuals access the online platforms through network-enabled computing devices. In addition, each of the individuals uses multiple network-enabled computing devices to access the online platforms. Further, management and storage of data associated with the individuals and the multiple network-enabled computing devices becomes essential for the online platforms. However, as number of the individuals and the network-enabled computing devices increases, management of the data becomes complex. In addition, the present systems and methods for performing unification of data of the individuals across the multiple network-enabled computing devices use hashing technique. In addition, the present systems and methods may store profile data associated with same computing device before identification and after identification in different shards. Further, the present systems and methods for performing unification of data of the individuals across the multiple network-enabled computing devices are inefficient. Furthermore, the present systems and methods for performing unification of data of the individuals across the multiple network-enabled computing devices are ineffective.
